Perhaps the most famous game-theory contest is the prisoner’s dilemma. In the prisoner’s dilemma, a pair of thieves have been ...

Neural activity during the performance of a stereotyped behavioral task is often described as low-dimensional, occupying only a limited region in the space of all firing-rate patterns. This region has ...

Continuous-variable (CV) quantum key distribution (QKD) allows for quantum secure communication with the benefit of being close to classical coherent communication. In recent years, CV QKD protocols ...

Probability underpins AI, cryptography and statistics. However, as the philosopher Bertrand Russell said, “Probability is the most important concept in modern science, especially as nobody has the ...

Exchangeability refers to the property of a sequence or collection of random variables whereby its joint probability distribution remains unchanged under any finite permutation of indices. This ...

Complex systems can often be conceptualized at both a microlevel (for example, molecules of a gas) and a macrolevel (for example, pressure and temperature of the gas). Bottom–Up, agent-based ...

The study of specific physiological processes from the perspective of network physiology has gained recent attention. Modeling the global information integration among the separated functionalized ...

Centrality measures allow to identify important nodes in networked systems. An open question in network theory is the empirical observation that a node’s centrality—whose computation requires ...

The mathematician Daniel Litt has driven social media users to distraction with a series of simple-seeming but counterintuitive probability puzzles. In late January, Daniel Litt posed an innocent ...
